Young Alex Moretti is a budding superstar who drives for his father, Andy, a motorsport legend and now expanding team owner. The team hit pay dirt when landing a lucrative multi-year sponsorship with Unibank, a major banking institution based in Charlotte, North Carolina.
.
Just when Moretti Motorsport was advancing toward super team status and entering Formula 1, the sponsor relationship explodes when young Alex is involved in a serious car accident, injuring the bank CEO's youngest teenage daughter, Amanda, suddenly unconscious in a Las Vegas hospital and aborting a six-to-seven week pregnancy.
Released from the team, Alex finds himself in motorsport exile and banned from any contact with Amanda while her father is hellbent on destroying the Morettis. While his own dad faces multi-million dollar lawsuits and bankruptcy, Alex himself is charged with statutory rape and suddenly finds his future resting in the hands of Ernest Flannery, an eccentric eighty-six-year-old southern lawyer.
After two years of scratching out any freelance ride he could muster, Alex finally gets a chance to resurrect his career, when Amanda is pressured to testify against him following new inculpatory evidence from their past relations. As both push back against their feuding fathers, their forbidden romance reaches climax while playing out in the courts, the press, and in the corporate suites and backstretch of the world's largest motor race.
